Time to take out my high school mircroscope and do some experiments lol Report this Post to the Staff
JimmyD Bedrock of the Community Canada 21633 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 12:54 pm It doesn't really matter what it is or how it was done, the fact that it could not have happened during the striking of the coin means it is damage. Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 04/21/2023 3:11 pm Possibly paint that has peeled off the surface of the coin. It was altered post strike. Not a plus for a coin. Report this Post to the Staff
